1 愿以色列人说： 如果不是耶和华帮助我们， （本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题） 2 如果不是耶和华帮助我们； 那么， 人起来攻击我们， 3 向我们发怒的时候， 就把我们活活吞下去了。 4 那时， 洪水漫过我们， 急流淹没我们； 5 汹涌的洪水把我们淹没。 6 耶和华是应当称颂的， 他没有容让敌人把我们当作猎物撕裂。 7 我们像雀鸟从捕鸟的人的网罗里逃脱； 网罗破裂， 我们就逃脱了。 8 我们的帮助在于耶和华的名， 他是造天地的主。

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
